Pink Boots Society - St. Louis

Today's a beautiful day to come out to Belleville to celebrate the release of "REBEL" Hazy Pale Ale- 5.4% ABV. We get tropical, citrus and stone-fruit notes with slight herbal and woody accents.

BIG THANKS to Shoehorn Brewing for helping us create another unique product for Pink Boots Society - St. Louis and for donating a portion of the sales to support Pink Boots Society scholarships and educational programs. We couldn't do it without you! 🩷

REBEL:
~We celebrate the fearless. The ones that remind us that ordinary people can challenge powerful systems, speak up for what they believe in, and stand firm even in the face of fear. For rebellion isn’t just about resistance—it’s about hope, courage, and the belief that change is possible.~
